There are many qualified and experienced guides in the area, to provide leadership for the less experienced walker. Their services range from basic guiding to training courses for mountaineering for both winter and summer skills.
Ski - The slopes of the Glencoe Ski Centre have become a year round attraction.

In summer you can enjoy wonderful views from the summit of the chairlift. click here for more details.
Sailing - The sheltered waters of Loch Leven with its magnificent mountain backdrop is truly wonderful sailing. From April to October many local boats are out, as there is an active Boat Club in Glencoe. Club members would be delighted to give help and advice, or perhaps take you on their boat for an evening sail. And if you venture under the Ballachulish Bridge into Loch Linnhe, the whole of the West Coast of Scotland opens up to you, with islands to explore and coastal towns and villages to visit. Skippered cruises are also available.

And in winter these routes can be transformed into challenges of snow and ice for all levels of skill.
